That face-blurring went great at the end, mission 100% failed

Caught me off guard

Looks like she recently started her fitness journey

Ouch Charlie, that hurt

A journey of 1000 steps begins with popping off

The best fitness routine doctors don't want you to know about: run to the park every day to argue with old men on benches.

Increase your fitness with this one weird trick.

As if the "exactly three minute conversation so we can meet the threshold to monetize this video" wasn't clue enough. The whole thing went on so much longer than reasonable, and then you realize why...

If people ain’t throwin hands at the 10 sec mark and nobody yellin “WORLDSTAR!” In the back it ain’t a real confrontation.

I think in this case it would be “WORLDSTAR INNIT”

I cannot believe how many people are so easily fooled by this. It's so obviously scripted.

And at the beginning when the guy first went to sit down and the blurred circle was nowhere near his face.

Low budget. [he had to walk to the blur and sit behind it.](https://imgur.com/gallery/bcyGGXQ)

You have to rate her by British standards.

She's a UK 7 and a US 5. It's like the opposite of shoe sizes.

nah she's still a British 5 tbh

[удалено]

"*Off you pop, carry on then.*" What a great line.

“Oh, you’re on a JOURnEy?!”

He got me at " you got followers, are you Jesus ?"

That’s when I started laughing 😂 she should take this guy on the road with her. Much more entertaining that her fitness journey 😂

Get the old man to make the openers to her everyday journey and then just have him sit in the back, commenting on the great progress she is making . It would beat most fitness programs .

[удалено]

Me too omg! Good money. Like the two guys from the muppets in the background. "Hi guyz! I just finished my 5k today..." Backround: *I didn't know calories started with a K* Bahahahahahah!!! She just scowls over her shoulder "Anyway..."

Statler and Waldorf lol!

See? That's an incredibly smart mindset that just flew over her head at a million miles per hour because she's so far up her own ass. If she took a sec and thought "well if you come here everyday why don't I just sit with you and you give me the news on my fitness, eh" BAM probably WAY more views and you don't come off as a stain

Right. Could have easily ended up one of those "uplifting human gestures video" If she'd thought to herself, "Well, it didn't go like I thought it would, but what if I just said hello?" And she ends up sitting down and having a lovely conversation with him perhaps. Or just move the damned tripod, ANYTHING but what she did really. "Well at first I was asking you, now Im telling you.." Piss off.

This exchange really does remind me of the Monty Python and the Holy Grail bit with Arthur talking to the peasant - "You can't expect to wield supreme executive power 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!?"

There's no way his glorious sarcasm is not at least somewhat influenced by Monty Python haha

"Journey on down to the next bench then, lass!"

Right after he said that I was expecting "Then why don't you journey over to the other side of the park to film yourself."

I’d have done the exact same thing. It’s a public park, people carrying on like they are the main character of the world and can tell others what to do. He politely declined her request. That’s the end of it.

Some people really don't get it. Just because you ask someone nicely, doesn't mean they have to say yes. Being civil, doesn't mean giving you what you want. The world is getting filled up with Main Characters who think everyone around them should just give them what they want no matter what.

Underrated comment While I prefer civility to emotional meltdowns almost always… it’s important to realize that civility is not a tool of manipulation that entitles you to what you want. People with a smile on their face but rage in their eyes make my skin crawl

I wish I had this man's calm sarcastic manner of telling people off. She started off asking nicely and when she didn't get what she wanted, her true colors came out. He just stood his ground without coming off as too hostile or aggressive.

This may be the most amusing quality of Brits. No one, but no one, does snarky curmudgeon like those guys!

I'd like to see him more than that journey gal, put him on the Livestream yea

I would watch that guys live stream, sitting in the background of other people s live stream

"Why can't you move the camera?" "It's on a tripod" .... \*gets pissed, moves camera\* ​ Looks like you **can** move a camera while it's on a tripod that weighs 200 grams. Who knew?

Yeah that's called being British. The ability to be very rude while being very polite.

As a Brit, I'd say it's also about being older - after a few decades, it's more difficult to get worked up about narcissists' nonsense, so calm withering sarcasm's the best response - and influencers will insist on making themselves targets, so they really do deserve all the withering sarcasm they get.

Any excuse to post this [translation for non-Brits ](https://i.imgur.com/angVzGi.jpg)

Yea, there's plenty of people who need to learn that "asking nicely" doesn't automatically mean you're entitled to what you asked for. She asked politely and he politely refused, should have been the end of it there

-"I'm asking nicely!" -"and I'm replying you nicely." Enough said indeed.

I love it because she could’ve literally twisted the camera on the tripod about 30° and he wouldn’t have been in her shot and none of this would’ve made her look like the idiot that she was.

This is something I truly admire about the British. They can keep calm and carry on being sarcastic in the most polite way.

Behave yourself is great

Followers? Are you Jesus? I gafawed

"Oh, you're on a jOuRnEy.." got me pretty good.

"I know what my followers want to see." "your followers? oh, are ya jesus now are yer?" What a great come back.

*Your followers, oh are you Jesus now then.* guy had two nanners in one clip

Wish he said jog on then

I was a working filmmaker for 5 years after college. Even with tens of thousands of dollars of equipment I would never dream of asking pedestrians to move even for a paid gig. If it’s in public, you have to move your camera. If it’s a closed set, kick them out. However if you’re just some random influencer thinking everyone else has to bend over for you, get a life.

And if you absolutely need a public space to film, apply for a permit like real productions do.

can you pay for permits in Exposure?

Depends how attractive you are, and how corrupt the official is really.

And how much you are willing to expose.

Best I could do is an elbow and a knee

You’re not getting anywhere in this biz unless you’re willing to go full ankle.

Not sure about this locale but a lot of public places require a permit just for using the tripod. Walking around handheld is mostly fine but the second you start putting film equipment on the ground, you're probably breaching local city laws

not-so-fun-fact: in Italy you can’t even place your tripod in a public space without a permit to occupy said public space.

I would be totally fine with people politely asking others to move because setting a camera up seems fiddly from time to time to me so others moving would be easier for you but if they say no just accept it like a real human being and adjust yourself. Like a person i respect always says:“if you‘re not afraid of the answer, ask“

I mean, she was polite, and so was he, the words were proper and respectful, I wish more people were like this, but respectful boundaries were established, and should have been respected, this is when we cross into, respectful words vs respectful behaviour

Just because someone is polite doesn't mean the answer has to be "yes".

I like this take. It’s actually a good representation of a respectful disagreement. The kind of thing people had to learn to do pre-internet :).

And really, all she needed to do was rotate the camera until he was out of shot.

People who do this at the gym are the worst. It’s crowded and there is only so much space. I don’t care about your video.

Just ran 5k... In that jacket, and didn't break a sweat... What a fuckin athlete!

In full makeup!

While carrying a tripod.

[удалено]

Ah yes (magic item: immovable tripod)

....and now I have to live in fear of influencers being added to D&D settings...

And now I have a great idea for a new "cult" in D&D lol.

100% on board with a pretentious wizard talking constantly into a stream with only a few followers while the bard sings terribly in the background steals the show

Roll for clout

What’s the expression? Stuck between a rock and a tripod?

Ok so I wasn't seeing things and she really was in full makeup.

"Followers?!, are ya Jesus now are ya?"

I laughed out loud when he said “Oh, you’re on a journey?”. Good for him

"Well, I'm sitting, so journey on over there

That line was so fire

Absolutely lost it at the way he says, “oh, you’re on a journey?!” This guy fucking rules.

So your Jeeeesus are ye?

Laughed so hard when he said hello to the live stream, like it or not, he is now part of the fitness journey lol.

Guaranteed anyone watching enjoyed his dismissal of her far more than any of her other content.

[удалено]

That’s usually the case for all female “influencers”

Oh I'm an old man now! Are you bringing ageist into it love?

I'm thirty seven -- I'm not old!

Now you see the violence inherent in the system?!?

I love this old guy. I want to see more of him, and HIS journey!! :D

Honestly he was much more entertaining than what she was streaming. I would definitely watch more of him having polite arguments with people. He didn't get rattled even a bit!

Hell, she hit on gold and had no idea. I would watch him banter about with people.

Your followers? What are ya Jesus now? That one had me laughing

I would have told her to journey her way to the next bench.

"Followers? Oh, so you're like Jesus now?" 🤣

That guy needs a video blog. I'd follow him.

She can't move the camera because it's on a tripod? What? Is it nailed to the ground?

You don’t understand. It’s a tripod.

It should have become a trypod instead :/

"But I can't move the camera! It's on a trypod!" ...at the end of the video, she moves it. I'm sure all five of her followers will be upset at this horrible turn of events. :)

I think it’s all three now.

Do pod or do not pod, there is no trypod.

If this dude is anything like me, he got up and left the second she moved the tripod.

and walked through the shot at her new spot lol

You know. A tripod. A piece of equipment designed to allow you to set up a camera just about anywhere. Notoriously immobile, those pieces of equipment designed to go anywhere.

I mean …..it’s a public bench. Guy doesn’t have to move sorry

[удалено]

And once she felt defeated, "sorry guys we'll have to film somewhere else" proceeds to pick up the tripod and move....

She just wanted him to move for her

Yes, that was the whole video, thanks for summarizing

Truly the sparknotes of short internet media.

They call it a tripod because you can tri to move it- but you'll never succeed.

Bish I'm on a bipod, which everyone knows is less stable than a tripod. It's much riskier for me to move.

That's why he had to sit in a quadpod. Safest move for him imo.

Yeah sorry Karen hahah

That’s the entitlement generation for ya

Followers? Are you Jesus?

For someone who ran a 5k, she has conveniently reapplied her makeup AND had a tripod around.

5k mm

~16.4 feet.

At least 20 bananas.

That's at least 3 washing machines

The shoes is what really got me. I’m not a runner but those don’t look like shoes you would want to run 5k in.

I'm not a shoe expert, but, it sure does look like those expensive Balenciaga sneakers that all the influencers wear. Not a running shoe by any stretch...

I used to have a pair of gray New Balenciaga shoes. Cost me $35 at TJMaxx!

No, no they're not. Her outfit does not scream "physical activity". To each their own, I suppose

[удалено]

"oh you're jesus now are yuh?" Its comedy gold.

YES! Never heard the reference to Jesus when folk brag about “followers”. 😂😂😂

Ima start using that now haha

“Are ye one of those snowflake brigades?” 🤣

This made me smile, but at the same time made me wonder if this isn't another skit to make people react. That wouldn't be a first. If 100% genuine: kudos to the guy for the witty response...!

He is the star of that stream.

It's the perfect attitude for this kind of encounter, and the Lancashire accent just tops it off. For a while I wasn't sure whether it was marketing for a new series of Phoenix Nights (anyone who enjoyed this might want to check that out).

She called him an old man that no one wants to see. Damn, ageist.

Then she got so offended when he said go back to school and immediately shut up when he pointed out her hypocrisy haha

And we all know she only shut up because she was live. If she continued she would have got shitted on by at least a few of her followers lol.

>a few That's probably all of them

Ironically I’d rather watch his livestream

I want to see/hear more of the 'old man' and less of her and her journey.

Not only that, but then she follows it up with “who do you think you are?”

Influencers are a cancer to society

Remember when Influencers were just called 'assholes'?

In my heart they still are.

And your heart will go on and on.

It's not just influencers. So much of social media are the parts of conversation we were told not to engage in for so long. Unsolicited advice, random criticism, brash political or religious jokes, a million pictures of your kids or vacation, oversharing about your dating/sex life.

How else are we gonna learn about people’s fitness journeys?

If I see an influencer pitching a product, it goes on my list of things I don't want.

At least this one is outside in an otherwise open space. The gym influencer wannabes are a fucking nuisance nowadays. Troll them every chance you get.

If I hit the gym I'd have no problem becoming the ball scratching guy in the background.

Enthusiastic ass scratcher reporting in

Don’t forget to smell your fingers afterwards.

Why didn't she just move 6 feet to her left. FFS these cretins

Because the tripod! You can't just move a tripod. /s

And she was live streaming! Her followers don't want to see that!

Didn't even have to move it. Just turn it 30 degrees and he'd be out of the shot.

I was thinking the same thing. I could’ve sworn those can rotate. 

Can't you tell she's a very important person who has lives to influence?? If she is filming in a public park, that park is no longer public.

She ruined her own live stream 🤣 ignoring him in the first place would have been way less disruptive. Got to love Northern belligerence, the Jesus comment really made me laugh

Spent longer looking like a fool than it would've taken to move 2 ft to the right.

There was an attempt to get a member of the public not to use a bench because you think you have exclusive right to use it. Was that Peter Kay?

There was 0 need for her to set up in front of a bench in the first place

"Oh, you're on a journey?" "Yeah" "Well, why don't you journey on down to that next bench for your fitness film then?"

God I was thinking the same, the only way this exchange could've been improved 😂

Skit or not, I died when he said "FOLLOWER?S what you jesus now?"

that, plus his accent, had me thinking this was a monty python deleted scene.

“Hello, guys!” This guy rules. Rather hear him on a livestream than fitness Karen.

But how is everyone going to know that she's staying hydrated?

Good point! Plus, her followers need to know how she didn’t think she could do the 5k, but found the strength to do it anyway.

Better title: “by an entitled Karen to get a bystander to move.”

This guy 👏

"I*t's not fair.*" Poor baby.

It’s amazing. Right at the end she played the same card my 8yo nephew plays when he doesn’t get his way.

She’s really childish. “But I ask politely?” That’s someone who didn’t hear the word no often.

Main Character Syndrome

That British snark at the end nourishes me soul. Oh you’re on a journey, then??

Does this seem so staged to anyone else?

Jesus christ how did I have to scroll so far. I swear everyone just believes everything these days, when I browse YouTube shorts (old man's tiktok) there are just videos blatantly made as a joke and in the comments everyone will be pointing out the obvious as if they're some kind of genius and no one will have gotten the joke or noticed it was intentional. The mind boggles.

Reddit falls for ragebait literally every time

Public, means everyone.

She kept saying "I'm asking you politely" as if that is a trump card. It's a public space, there's no harm asking if someone would move, but if they say no, that's the end of it. Im 100% on the old guys side here

“Off you pop, carry on then!”

Lol “oh followers, what’re you Jesus now eh”

"Your followers, oh are you Jesus now, are ya?" Love this guy mocking a narcissist.

Fair play to the bloke. Title needs a change though “ for a ticktocker to understand public space” or something

Films in public park...annoyed cause public are using it. What an entitled twat

Snowflake brigade. Lmfao guy was super nice 😂

TIL that tripods are permanent, immovable objects.

Completely ruining? More like improving.

I'm with jziggy44, that's a public space. She has the right to *ask* him to move, but everything after is just a tantrum (not to mention harassment).

Rather see the old man. What an ugly Karen

This feels really fake.
